I am me
In all the world, there is no one else like me
there are persons who have some parts like me
but no one adds up exactly like me.
Therefore everything that come is authentically mine
because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me; My body including everything it does;
My mind including all its thoughts and ideas; My eyes including the images of all they behold; Whatever they may be;
1. Anger
2. Joy
3. Frustration
4. Love
5. Disappointment
6. Excitement
My mouth and all the words that comes out of it;
Polite, Sweet, Rough, Corrent, Incorrent;
My voice; Loud, Soft;
All of my actions whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes
All my failures, and mistakes.
Because I own of me.
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me.
And other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me.
This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time. When I review later how I looked and sounded what I said and did and how I thought and felt.
Some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting.
And invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive to be close to others to be productive and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me and therefore I can engineer me.
I own me and I am okay.

Afterwords
I am me

Maybe you now are in that situatilon, that place in your life, and with that awareness of yourself. That the poem had impact on you too. Maybe you experienced while reading it what other people have. Namely that your value of yourself the new possibilities of guiding and enjoying your life, and getting closer to yourself as the miracle that you are is enhanced. You can see how life can take on new directions for yourself.

For me anything that gives new hope, new possibilities and new positive feelings about oursevles will make us more whole people and thus more human, real and loving in our relationships with others.
If enough of this happens the world will become a better place for all of us.
You matter what goes on between us matters. Since I always carry me with me, and I belong to me. I always have something to bring to you and me.
New resources new possibilities to cope differently and to create anew.

I hope this little essay will give your self-esteem some effort to try harder in life. So in your lifetime you can move on with positive ways in life.
